Its well known (in Serbia) that the greatest serbian ruller Tzar Dusan the Great was extremely tall for his time.His height is estimated to be a bit over 210 cm.At his time it was normal to be abt 190-195 cm tall.He is also known for assembling his guard,and one of the conditions to enter it was to be over 200 cm tall.The only man who was "allowed" to be taller then the emperor was the flag-bearer.
So Serbians were tall back then as we are todau,but usully not over 200 cm (198 myself ;) )

Skeletons of women over 2 meters tall? 126 cm from knee to neck? These were Giantess!

I am a 183 cm tall man about 3 cm taller than average white American, and I am 106 cm from knee to neck! These Serbian Giantess must have been about 212 cm tall using my proportions! 6-FT-11-1/2 INCHES.

How tall were their fathers and brothers? Let me guess 2,30 - 2,40 cm?!! 7 1/2 - 8 FEET?

Remains of Giants have been found all over the ancient Mediterranean, at Spain, and the south of France (Castelnau & Montpellier) and Sardinia, and Sicily -- some of these were over 2,50 and even over 3,20 meters! Read the journal of science: La Nature Vol. 18, 1890 by G. de Lapouge in which is described bones belonging to people superior to 3 meters!

Les Alpes Dinariques : un peuple de sujets de grande taille

Average height of adolescents in the Dinaric Alps

Abstract

This study contributes to an update of average heights among European populations. Our investigation covering 2705 boys and 2842 girls aged 17 years, shows that, contrary to the general belief, adolescents of the Dinaric Alps are, on average, the tallest in Europe. With an average height of 185,6 cm, they are taller than Dutch adolescents (184 cm on average). Above all, the density of very tall subjects appears to be characteristic of the Dinaric Alps, since 28% measure 190 cm or more in height, as opposed to only 20% in Holland and 1.5% in France. Although our information is not complete, adolescent girls in the Dinaric Alps, with an average height of 171 cm come a close second to girls in Holland.

the Illyrians have been assimilated by all the nations that came to the Balkans, including Serbs and also Albanians, who probably both came from the areas around the caspian sea.

Neither Serbs nor Albanians have anything to do with the Illyrians, except absorbing them.

Serbian Dinaric Race is naturally tall, especially when looking at Slavic peoples and native Balkan human beings (who were all assimilated and united by the Serboi tribe under the modern Serbian identity).

Serbs are mainly of Slavic blood like the Russians. The name "Russia" comes from the Vikings who established a trading center around present day Kiev. The early Viking desriptions of Slavic people where that they where very Tall, mostly fair haired and blue eyed. So it is of no suprise that Medieval Serbs where tall! It is true that Saxons and other mercs where hired by the king or Czar to fight in Serbia's army as professionl soldiers, but I don't beleive the remains were non-Serb because of the location. Illyrians were not known to be tall and their people where long gone by medieval times, sorry to bust your bubble Aleks, time for some reality!

Well, today Serbs are known for being a tall people so I would assume that this is a confirmation of their genetic traits. Look at all the NBA players.

Skeletons of women over 2 meters tall? 126 cm from knee to neck? These were Giantess!

I am a 183 cm tall man about 3 cm taller than average white American, and I am 106 cm from knee to neck! These Serbian Giantess must have been about 212 cm tall using my proportions! 6-FT-11-1/2 INCHES.

How tall were their fathers and brothers? Let me guess 2,30 - 2,40 cm?!! 7 1/2 - 8 FEET?

Remains of Giants have been found all over the ancient Mediterranean, at Spain, and the south of France (Castelnau & Montpellier) and Sardinia, and Sicily -- some of these were over 2,50 and even over 3,20 meters! Read the journal of science: La Nature Vol. 18, 1890 by G. de Lapouge in which is described bones belonging to people superior to 3 meters!
